Why Energy Codes?
- Energy Codes set minimum efficiency
requirements for new and renovated buildings, assuring reductions in energy use and emissions over the life of the
- building. Energy Codes are a subset of
building codes, which establish baseline requirements and govern building construction.
- Code buildings are more comfortable and
cost-effective to operate, assuring energy, economic and environmental benefits.
- The relationship between the IBC and
the IECC
- IECC addresses only energy topics
- IBC addresses all topics (structural,
plumbing, etc.) in One book
- IECC addresses both residential and
commercial construction; IBC addresses all
- f the subsets of commercial construction
